blip!

There was a blip in our process today as we received word that part of our son's name was missing on his POA. We quickly rectified that and sent it off. I was thinking that I could obsess about this, and try to figure out the time lost in our case, or I could simply choose to trust the Lord for His hand to be upon Nathan.

This next week I am teaching 4th grade Sunday School. The lesson is Matthew 8:5-13, about the faith of the centurion. He told Jesus that He didn't need to go to his home, all He had to do was say so and his servant would be healed (and he was healed). While I do not have the 'astonishing' faith of the centurion-I do know that we worship the Lord of all creation, and that He is able to speak and things happen.

I am trusting the Lord to go before us in this process, knowing that He is in control. The Lord has brought us to a place where we need to trust in Him. He holds Nathan in His hands, and I am so thankful for that. Nathan is the Lord's child and we are asking that we be able to love and care for him. I know that the Lord hears our prayers and that He will answer as He sees fit. My job in this is to trust the Lord with all my heart (Proverbs 3:5-6), and give Him all the praise and the glory He deserves.

Our desire is to delight ourselves in the Lord throughout this adoption.

"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4
